Alternative listings, with cheaper unit price, are available for larger purchases and bulk deals are possible. **Q: How do they bend? The ones I have been sent look like a flat slate** A: They are flat slates if you wish to slate a roof. The ridge tiles are shaped to fit over the ridge, there is a difference. When you order make sure you ask for either ridge or roof tiles. They are excellent tiles to work with, very easy to cut to size using a Stanley knife and the look is authentic. Good luck. **Q: Are these 18 inches long or 18 inches in width thanks** A: 18 inches (45cm) long, which seems to be standard UK tile length as concrete tiles are also 18 inch long. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard plastic coping *by L***E on 2 March 2025* Quality item better than I expected at the price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks good so far *by L***S on 4 December 2024* We ordered these for our porch.
